Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2001)

Giuseppe Tornatore has given us a stunning masterpiece. Only beauty deserves to last; that is both my comment about what the film is about and a comment on the film itself. Words fail me to even begin to describe what I felt while watching this film on DVD. Tim Roth was the ideal choice. What a great actor!
Even if you don't agree with my enthusiasm, you will surely agree that the music alone is worth it.
I have one negative comment however. The version we are given on DVD 'only' has 125 minutes, whereas the original film's duration was 160 minutes. How come ? Never did 125 minutes go by so quickly...
